The length of it was most appreciated, but I don't think you could cover such a subject as you took on in this chapter without making it longer.
Would you believe my initial plan, after deciding to use this as a frame, was to have very short yet intense scenes describing each stage of grief?
LOL, that got shot all to hell after I wrote out the first one. When Sesshoumaru gets going, he's hard to stop...
As for the subject of this chapter, you've brought back some memories for me. I just hope Kagome makes better choices than I did. :-)
Interesting; you're the second person to say that to me. I had no idea I was writing about such a universal experience, LOL - but maybe that's why everyone is enjoying it so much =)
And Sango being the one to give the comfort and advice? That was a twist, but a good one.
Well, I've not really given her many friends, but it was important she have someone she could talk to, after relying too heavily on the boys for the duration of the story. I thought Sango would have unique insight as well, being one of Inuyasha's friends but not necessarily a sycophant.
Everything he's been working for is finally coming into fruitition, but yet he's beginning to realize what he's lost...or never really had...or had but didn't cherish? Gah! I'm lost. Just like he is...
As John Lennon once said so eloquently, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." He's upset that he doesn't feel happier that all of his hard work and planning is finally being set into motion, but rather refuses to believe its because he's caught up in Kagome. Remember, he's had his heart broken as well, and this is his way of dealing with it - withdrawing before it hurts too much.
Sorry this review is so unorganized, but my thoughts are flying all over the chapter. I know I'll remember something else I wanted to comment on deep in the night and it'll wake me up until I go and do it. SO, I'll probably check in again later.
No worries =) I enjoy everyone's insight, whether immediate or delayed.
